Behinda hidden door

Lies a cultural landmark
that defines the cultural life of the city Limassol
a story that goes back to decades of times gone by
Behind this door, prodigious ideas were honed that were
destined to entertain the city of Limassol until today
With a sense of responsibility and deep cultural
commitment for its roots, this space marries the past
with the future, where yesterday and today carry a
significant importance for the future, with respect to
the city’s traditions and the arts. Passing through the
threshold of the hidden door, you experience a unique
understanding of the tools and media the artist had used
build in a unique modern environment filled with respect
The journey of knowledge you gain as you step through
this door, is one nurturing, love and passion for art
that all members of Studio 8 share when teaching the
youth of tomorrow.

Our Past, Present, and Future Philosophy Is all About Turning Our School’s Premises Into An Innovative and Friendly Space that Unlocks the Creativity and Humanity In People.

Studio 8 School of Art and Design originated from the artistic workshop “MAVROGENIS”, directed by the late Costas Mavrogenis and George Mavrogenis, which have been artistically contributing to the community for more than a century. Their genuine and noteworthy artistic work was reflected in a number of pioneering creations and innovative ideas including the Limassol Carnival and the Limassol Wine Festival, as well as on stage designs for various theatre plays and shows.

Mavrogenis’ family tradition to the cultural life of Limassol continues to evolve through Andreas Mavrogenis,a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence.

Studio 8 School of Art & Design was established by the scenographer Andreas Mavrogenis in 2008 and it is an approved center by Pearson-Edexcel and BTEC offering a variety of art related programs such as Higher National Diploma, BTEC Diploma, Foundation Courses, IGCSE and A-level examinations as well as art classes for all ages and levels.
